Finally a place for me to whinge about how sweden has adopted "city" as our term for downtown, it feels so aggressively stockholmian to force in an english word like that when we already have "centrum" which is the same as most european langauges anyway.

I think it's what used to be called aspergers, that general kind of autism where you're ostensibly normally functional but you just work a bit differently. For me it's like half of the symptoms are pretty subtle but persistent (like being into technical stuff and good at learning stuff i enjoy) and the other half are the stereotypically autistic "dysfunctions" that only appear sometimes (mostly when i'm stressed).
even better: i don't fucking remember if people say some specific thing about me! Like how often do they expect people to say these highly specific things? Unless it's said on a monthly or even weekly basis i struggle to believe that most people would remember it.
yes because you'll become nauseous and won't want to eat

surely this has been the case for decades now? doesn't really feel like news
deezer nuts
